HC Deb 08 February 1937 vol 320 cc47-8W
Mr. H. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can now make any further statement in respect of the restoration of the notices on London omnibuses and tramcars during the period when cheap fares are in operation?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I understand that particulars of cheap fares in operation on the omnibuses and tramcars of the London Passenger Transport Board are shown on the fare boards inside the the depressed areas who were transferred through the Department to employment in Leicestershire, and elsewhere in England (excluding Monmouthshire), respectively, during the years 1932 to 1936 inclusive:

vehicles. The board inform me that the structure and design of their omnibuses and their newer types of tramcar are unsuitable for the display of outside notices and that they are satisfied that such notices are unnecessary.
